AcuRite Iris (5-in-1) Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Weather Station with Color Display for Hyperlocal Weather Conditions (01536MCBA1)

Weather station works exactly as advertised. Interface to network requires computer, or... Acurite 09150 smarthub. (or other Bluetooth network interface) I purchased Acurite 09150 smarthub because it is advertised and designed to interface. Great System. I mounted my weather station on a mast about 14 foot tall extending about 4 feet above a tool shed roof using 3/4" galvanized pipe concreted into the ground and attached to the eave of the building at a remote location with internet access The desktop display is wirelessly connected and easy to read inside the building with all the information clear to see.. This is fine when I am near my weather station. I most often monitor this weather station at a remote location approximately 90 miles away through the network interface. Instant weather conditions available through my smartphone or computer with 3 minute interval reports. I see conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, precipitation, dew point, temperature by phone or computer. I see graphing trends in the same manner for Today, 24 hour, 31 day, Year, All Time recorded, or Custom. To see conditions through my phone and computer, I purchased the AcuRite 09150 smarthub and interfaced it directly to my router using standard network CAT5 cabling. This weather station when purchased with smarthub is a great tool for monitoring current or trending conditions at home or remotely. I am very pleased. No knowledge of other systems, I would recommend this system because it works perfectly for my needs. Lower cost equipment might be available, it may work as well, but this is a quality weather station that works.

Still working great after 3 years in the Florida sun.

This is my first weather station, and it has been educational. What I thought it would do, it somewhat does, but there are things it doesn't do without additional hardware. What you get - Display which is clear and easily readable, a 5 in 1 weather sensor, a USB cable and a power supply for the display. In the documentation it said to use the enclosed batteries - there were no batteries enclosed or included, so the manual is either outdated, or the batteries are missing. The unit was easy to set up using the manual, so far so good. I don't have a place where heat isn't reflected and it is out of the direct sunlight. I need to purchase a pole to mount it on, a block wall holds cold and heat, couldn't mount it there. I purchased a 10' section of 3/4 " electrical conduit, dug a hole and cemented it in. The unit does go online, but you need a computer to connect via USB, and it needs to be running 24/7 to upload data, and it only uploads it to Acurite's site. If you want to send it to Weather Underground, you need to buy another piece of hardware from Acurite. You need an AcuRite 09155M AcuRite Access for Remote Monitoring of AcuRite Weather Stations. I deducted 1 star because the description is also flawed, states you get a Pro 5 in 1, when you don't, and you need additional hardware if you don't have a computer you need to sit next to the monitor.

Works great. I had an early model that finally gave out. The new one has a few new features that are nice. Found out the old display works with the new outside unit.

I had one previous to the one I just purchased for about seven years. The outdoor unit quit transmitting so I bought a new one into my surprise. Both displays work off of one outdoor unit. I also hooked it up to my computer and now have real time conditions at home from my smart phone. Plus, I’ve added my WeatherStation to Weather Underground. Very good unit easy to set up. I’d recommend it for the price. It’s really a great weather station.

Mounting wasn't all that bad, either. I already had a dis-used satellite dish mounted on the roof with a pole sticking up vertically, so I took the dish off and got a 4' long 3/4" diameter extension pole that fit in the sender unit and the old dish pole. Now I can stand on the roof and still look down in the rain dish to clean it... purists would want it even higher to measure the wind accurately, but in my yard full of trees accurate wind measurements aren't happening without at least 80' of elevation and that's not happening. So far, connection between the inside and outside units has seemed pretty solid, even with a metal roof and about 50' of distance between them. The inside unit is nice, but a little hard to read from the side where I have it mounted. I have it close to a PC where it sends data to the AcuView cloud app and Weather Underground - which was relatively painless to set up. Most of the time I look at my station on my cellphone, or sometimes relative to nearby stations on WunderMap. It's pretty amazing how much variation there is across a neighborhood, particularly as you get closer or farther from a nearby river. At first I thought there was an inaccuracy in the temp measurement, or maybe it was "roof effect" but, the temperatures track very close (+/- 1 F) with a digital thermometer I have mounted on a pole on the other side of the house, and there are usually a couple of other nearby stations reading like mine on the Wundermap, but not always the same ones.

After a very long courtship it became very temperamental, worked like a treat for a long time, then had dummy spit. it forgot whom the boss was and wouldn't record rain. we since have done counselling after three months separation. and agreed to work on channel B Fingers crossed it doesn't become land fill.

OK

Bought this item to replace our old unit. We had an AcuRite simlar to model# 00589 for 8 years and the outdoor sensor stopped working. I wanted a new weather station with wind direction, rain gauge and battery backup. After searching through different models, I choose to stay with an AcuRite weather station because our old one worked great for many years. Even after reading the negative reviews, I was convinced it would work fine. Straight out of the box, I setup outdoor unit (approx 100ft away of display) and it connected to display just fine. Has strong signal and accuracy seems to match with local weather apps. I've had it for just over a week with winter weather being extremely cold and hasn't missed a beat. If you live in cold climates, I strongly recommend Lithium AA batteries for the outdoor unit, as the regular alkaline batteries stop working when I gets cold.

The AcuRite Pro weather station with PC Connect is very good. Loads of setup options which are easily understood. Haven't tried the PC Connect yet as am still resetting the unit occasionally to reposition/re calibrate rain totals etc. You'll need an adaptor if you're living below the equator but the adaptor I got won't let battery cover click back in. Would love to know if brightness can be adjusted as I no longer require a nightlight to get to sleep. Good Stuff Digital hippie
